Derailments are now happening in the State rail system every
                   day," Mr Photios said.

I wonder where they are occuring?  I'd be interested to know where he gets these
facts from.  As an aside, how many of these alleged derailments are caused by
poor track, and how many are caused by operator error (like checking points,
etc.)?
